Methods and evaluation design

Procedure, tasks and evaluated configurations

How it works

Evaluation methodology

Amplicon and shotgun collections derived from RDP version 11 update 5 (30 September 2016), with balanced taxonomic subsets and a separate unbalanced Qiita collection. The taxonomic label level and sequence-generation method must remain attached to each evaluation. Ten-fold cross-validation is reported for the benchmark experiments. Classification accuracy at multiple ranks; the genus task must be distinguished from easier higher-rank outcomes. Conventional classifiers using PC-mer are compared with CNN/DBN approaches using alternative encodings. The study evaluates supervised classifiers with ten-fold cross-validation across the amplicon and shotgun collections. Sections 2.2 and 3.1–3.5 do not specify genome-, species- or homology-grouped fold assignment; ten-fold evaluation alone does not establish unseen-species generalization.

legacy kinds
benchmark
entity classification
review date: 2026-09-17; rationale: This source-scoped record identifies the biological prediction task and holds its paper context. Preserve the existing task identity; exact split, model adaptation and scoring remain in linked evaluations or separate protocol records.; source ids: pc-mer-2024; source locator: Methods §3.1; Results/Conclusion; cached text lines 23–24, 48, 58; ambiguities: A paper- or suite-specific task may constrain some inputs or metrics; that alone does not make it interchangeable with a complete versioned protocol. No protocol equivalence is inferred.; Some legacy profile Entity type facts use the generic phrase computational evaluation protocol. That boilerplate is not sufficient to establish a single fixed protocol identity or to merge this task with another protocol record.
